Bejeweled Skeleton Linked to Suffolk County Murder
A bejeweled skeleton found along Brentwood road in Suffolk County is suspected to be a young woman killed in a manner similar to politician Irving A. Nelson. Coroner Savage investigates a year-old body with a gold necklace bearing a diamond heart, a pearl pendant, and a silk veil bearing the name Schwartz. Authorities consider fires in the area possibly aimed at destroying evidence and link the case to a missing fiancée of Gustav Schwartz who was jailed in Riverhead.
